recommend me a beer.

Stella Artois has been my go-to for quite some time now. My taste is similar to yours -- crisp, light, refreshing (the after-work beer). It is, hands down, the best out-of-bottle beer I have found so far.

[CashFlo]

can, bottle, or tap?

Everyone keeps banging the Stella drum so hard and so often I decided to try it...and didn't like it. Kind of a Heineken-y bitterness and aftertase. But at least now I know.

I wouldn't have figured 'light and crisp' would equate to an IPA. But many have suggested IPAs, and they are my favorite style. If you want an IPA, Dogfish makes numerous ones, and they're the nuts. Try the 60 minute. The 90 or 120 minute are probably too hoppy if you're new to the style.

If you like brown ales, the best ones IMO are Bell's Amber and Moose Drool.

Heffewiezen and other wheat beers are light and crisp - quintessential summer beers. Bell's oberon is a little lighter than most heffewiezens, but really tasty. Hoegarden, Hacker Pschoor and Franziskaner are my overall favorites.

Someone else mentiones Spotted Cow (new glarus brewing). Thats also a reallty good beer.

New Orleans. You would think this town would have alot of microbreweries, but that's not the case at least in my experience. There are a couple of restaurants that brew their own stuff, but I haven't seen any of it on the shelf.

Its not as light as a lager, but I think a hefeweizen (with a wedge of lemon) is the way to go. Great refreshing summer beer.

Is the lemon standard for all hefe's? I haven't tried this and often drink Negro Modelo just so I can squeeze a lime into it.

Hoegaarden is great, but $11 for a 6 pack in nyc

if you live in NY area, Brooklyn Pennant Ale is really good
